Willow Lane Elementary School, which is located at 6135 Sauerkraut Road in Macungie, will educate approximately 650 students in Kindergarten through Grade 5 and will help children develop the important skills needed to carry them from elementary education through their high school years and beyond.

The elementary school is three stories (84,872 square feet) and features interactive white boards and video projectors in all instructional areas, as well as a completely wireless infrastructure, two outdoor playground facilities, and a multi-purpose room for large group activities.

The East Penn School District is holding an information session on Thursday, June 17th at 7PM and we would like you to attend. The session will give parents of charter school students an insight into new district initiatives and the future of the EPSD. Please contact Ceil Birdsell at 610.966.8333 if you plan to attend. Download more information about this session.

With Willow Lane Elementary school nearly completed, prospective Willow Lane administration, faculty and staff have begun visiting the new facility, and the students attending the school are scheduled to visit during the first three weeks of June.

Over the next several weeks, the contractors will be gone, classrooms will be fully furnished, smart boards will be operational and educators will be able to "personalize" their designated classrooms and offices. District custodial staff will have had "high polished" the classrooms to a mirrored luster ready to track hundreds of little feet through its corridors. Willow Lane Elementary School anxiously waits to be occupied! Picture 1 | Picture 2
